Bug description: Currently it is not possible to regain control of the aircraft when switching to a drone or fixed view. The “toggle aircraft control” command does not work as it did in msfs 20.

Edit: For the drone camera I can get it to work using the recommendation below, however for the fixed views no chance.

Could you confirm the commands that you’re using?

Hey Richard,
I was using the C key and checked that this is set up for the “toggle aircraft control”. Additionally I checked that nothing else is bound to C.

Make sure you edit the keypress parameters for your chosen key ‘C’. You need to toggle off “Input repetition”. Without doing this I think it’s bouncing rapidly between on and off for the short time you’ve got the key pressed. This meant it would appear to work randomly for me.

I used a different key to C but once I turned off Input repetition I’ve been using the “toggle aircraft control” function without issue.

Using your recommendation I was able to get it working for the drone camera, but not for the fixed views.
